The best thing since itself
I heard the new iPhone came out so I went to use the uni computers with Elena to check it out. It looked alright, they finally got rid of the glass back which I found stupid to begin with (glass made it look nice but drop it and it cracks and it scratches easy too. So people end up protecting it with a cover which defeated the purpose). Is it revolutionary? Definitely not. There aren't any real breakthroughs with this one. I think iPhone 4 was the best one to really change the smartphone industry standards.
I watched the video of it on the Apple website. My favourite thing about these videos is that they always use inspiring music and video effects that make it seem cool. Sadly it wasn't as awesome as when I watched the iPhone 4 and iMac, maybe I'm used to it? Bottom line, I don't think I want to buy an iPhone anymore.
Speaking of consumerism, I've been keeping my eye on this movie which is both creepy and fascinating. It kinda has a eye opening message kind of thing. The movie is called Branded and it's a conspiracy type movie about major companies secretly brainwashing us to buy their stuff and become dependent and passive. Did I mention it was creepy? Hint: don't watch it if you don't want to get creeped out.
LOL at the thumbnail. Also I find it stupid how they start the context with "what if..."
Wasn't gonna tell anyone but I was planning to do the Jay Park cover contest thing before the deadline changed. I was going to learn it tomorrow/Saturday and send it just before the deadline, just for fun. I don't want to take it seriously though, it'll probably stress me out or something. I saw one of the entries and it looked good, too bad it went over two minutes, not sure how strict Jaye will actually be. Kinda biased on wanting Carmen or at least someone I know to make it next round with that song.

Sunday, 9 September 2012
These past couple of days were horrible. Day in and out I have done nothing but work on my literature review. I could worked on my BABS pracbook which sorely needs fixing up and catching up, or started revising for stats. Now it's Sunday and I feel like my head is going to explode. I wish this was over soon. Nine in the morning start tomorrow. I honestly don't think I can physically wake up in time. Almost finished. Too bad this last article is hard to understand and I have to go back and cut a lot of words since accidentally set the bar too high. I hope nothing like this happens again this semester.

Springtime
It's now spring and the first day of the midsem break. Well it's not much of a break, more like "hey you've got tons of assignments and stuff to do so we'll stop classes so you can catch up". Normally it doesn't turn out that way.
Today I taught Fiction and five people turned up which was good. We did the stagger properly (I was the one who walks past them haha) and they did the chorus pretty well too. A lot of new people, some did other CO classes but not Saturday. I remember one of them saying they went to last week's class,which would have been David's. The person was also female. Coincidence?
Afterwards Huy and Jibbie came to the studio and Huy tried helping me to do a back handspring. It needs a lot of work. Context - one of the things I wanted to do by the end of the break was to be able to do a back handspring. He suggested parkour classes which I may actually have time for.
Went to Strathfield to get my hair cut. A new person cut my hair. Note to self, be as specific as you can. Comparing to my previous haircut, this is so much worse. I should remember to always ask to keep my fringe intact or use a reference photo which I did for my last hair cut. I'll be really impressed to whoever can guess which person I used.
Went home feeling gross with my new hair and tried fixing it up with product. It looked alright but I couldn't get it to look good.
Anyways, went to eat Thai food in Parramatta since my brother was going to school to watch a drama presentation. It was almost 7 and my brother had to go so he and my dad left me and my mother at the restaurant. In the end I ate a lot of food feeling very bloated.
I listened to that Owl City and Carly Rae Jepson song properly now. It's alright. I like Owl City and how he's a proud introvert. I remember when people complained about Fireflies while I thought it was good.
Tomorrow is Father's day. Not sure what we're doing but guess I'll find out tomorrow.

LOL I fail at transforming bacteria
I wasn't planning on plugging this for reasons, but seeing that I'm being credited now, I suppose I could. My friend wanted me to help do a quick video for their promotion of Jay Park. It's on their channel now. I'd rather not show it on facebook cause it wasn't really my best work since I was rushed, literally. But here it is. Also youtube does a great job at making all my videos look like crap when it isn't at least 720p.
Had my BABS2202 mid semester exam on Monday. It was a lot of multiple choice and one short answer. It felt like just short than an actual exam from first semester. I wouldn't know how well I did. After the exam I heard people talking to Louise about the phenol red question. At least I got that right. That's a good sign. But yeah I had no idea about the last short answer question.
Friday was quite a day. Woke up at 4:30 to be driven by Huy to 6:30 practice. In my rush I totally forgot that I had placed my crew and yellow shirt in a separate bag and I forgot to bring it. Practice was done and we went to Circular Quay for our performance for SBS PopAsia. Turns out we didn't need to do it since Nu'est was there. Thing was we were supposed to be the opening or something for PopAsia but they didn't know that Nu'est would be coming before they asked us to. So performance wasn't performed, which I was kinda disappointed since we woke up really early for it and I wanted to dance too. Oh well, I actually don't feel up for that Jurassic Lounge thing. It sounds weird. Well it is during the break so maybe I'll feel up for it by then. I'll definitely learn the new dances since we'll need it for Animania. Animania isn't the best con of the year, mainly because it's Japanese culture only, but it's alright. Last year I didn't get anything. This year I totally want to get at least one item from there.
Pancakes were had, and awkward topics were talked about hahaha. Not really. Also yeah I haven't updated my youtube ever. I mean, what could I possibly do that I can't do either here or on facebook? For example my vlog where I talked about SM Town performance. I could have just made a post on facebook. I wish I could have time for something. Making stuff by myself gets tedious. I wish I had friends who were crazy about making videos. That probably won't ever happen. Sigh.
Went to uni afterwards. It felt like we were going to uni in the afternoon. Which reminds me. I have to catch up on stats. Chemistry was had and I fell asleep. Also Norman was getting ready for the Kpop cover contest in the afternoon.
(I stopped writing due to lack of time and it's now Tuesday.)
Umm where was I? Kpop cover contest right? Too bad they didn't win. I would definitely like to call bias but I don't want to seem sore about it. No big deal. I can see this boosting their egos though. Not a good thing.
Sunday was Bec's birthday. Lots of fun in the sun was had and it was one of those days by the end you just want to collapse and sleep like crazy. Reminds me of the time I held a LAN party at my place. Though it wasn't the gaming that was stressful it was running the whole day plus having so much happen in a short amount of time. I should remember to hold one again in the holidays.
I've been starting to listen to my music again. I forgot how good B.A.P's Warrior was. We've been dancing it for ages now and most likely left a bad taste in our mouths. But why should it? Just listening to the song was like rediscovering how awesome it was in the first place. Particularly the unique vocals that you don't usually hear anywhere else. I think this song is their best one. Watching the music video again and I can't believe I forgot how much I enjoyed it.

mid exams already?
So apparently some of my courses are already holding midsem examinations before the break. So much for having time to study. Earliest one is next Monday. I should prepare for that one soon. As a result I have to start working on days which I normally give to relaxing/Crossover. Kinda bummed out but it's only temporary. Hope I don't miss out on much.
This week's Adventure Time... not as awesome as I had hoped. But it was alright. They didn't have every character in it. But they sure made a whole lot of references. Also confused on when the episode takes place in the timeline.
Finally a new communitychannel video. I think she's the only Australian youtuber who I support. The thought of Mychonny being the very few youtube celebrities of our country really sucks.
DmC looks awesome. I like their art style. It's very modern, like BBC's Sherlock. I don't know why a large amount of people are hating on it.
Can't wait to play it, though I know my brother already wants it. So guess I'll play after he does. Also KH3D came out a while ago. I really want to play it, but yeah I don't have that much free money to spend. Also David if you're reading this I need to return your PSP heh... I finished the game but the secret bosses are too hard to beat without grinding first. So guess I'm done. It was a good game, especially by the time I figured out the combat systems.

Haven't had one of these days in a while
So much sleep was had today. Usually I'd have to go to the city for practice or whatnot. But after performance at the Opera House, we could finally take a day off. Felt like a holiday despite having an assignment and uni the next day.
Not much to write about. I'm pretty excited for this week's Adventure Time, almost as much as I was for Burning Low. Apparently this episode will show every character that's been on the show. The preview showed a character from one my favourite episodes. My favourite because it left a creepy feeling by the end which was great compared to the less interesting episodes. It also reminds me of secret murder mystery.
It finally happened to me. I never thought I see the day. I now have timeline and have no idea what to do with it. I have by the 16th then it automatically makes it public.

LSP and Cinnamon Bun are hilarious
